Gambrinus posted:loving hell, Airbnb is a ballache to use. I just want somewhere to stay, I'm not applying for citizenship so it's a bit unclear why they need two photos of me and my driving licence. You don't get this kind of bollocks with the Premier Inn. Some Airbnbs are someone's actual home with their personal belongings in - not so much now as they used to be and are meant to be, but still sometimes. I don't mind those people being a bit more security conscious than a big chain business that can absorb the cost of theft or damages more easily.

crispix posted:i disagree i think russia should be isolated and humiliated as much as possible Putin has said, and this is very close to quote-unquote, that there is no point to the world existing if Russia has no place in it. This is not something you want to hear from a man who has over 6,000 nuclear warheads at his disposal and very few restrictions on him using them. Macron is 100% correct that Putin needs to be left with a means to stop fighting, because he's also made it abundantly clear that he won't stop if he wins in Ukraine.

Guavanaut posted:It worked out much better after WW2 when we humiliated the ideology instead, removed it's symbols, destroyed it's altars. The last two posts are exactly it. If we humiliate and isolate Russia, the Russian people will bind more closely to Putin or the next nationalist whackjob who comes along. If we humilate and isolate the regime, and we restrict that to the boundaries of the war, the message is sent: Russia has a place in the world, imperialist murderers are the ones we have a problem with.

fuctifino posted:But what would happen if Boris simply ignored the rules, refused to step down, leave No.10 or call a GE? Because that's what I think he's going to do. He doesn't have any say in it. Once he's no longer party leader, the Tories send their new chosen leader to request Her Majesty's permission to serve and he/she becomes PM. If Boris then refuses to leave Downing Street, there's an armed officer on duty inside at all times who will escort the intruder from the premises. Summary: Boris will step down, or he will leave Number 10 either in handcuffs or a body bag. By the way, the civil service don't need to change the locks on Number 10 when Boris is kicked out because Boris doesn't have the keys - in fact, there aren't any keys. The doors can only be opened from the inside.

Guavanaut posted:What happens if everyone is out? There's always a police officer on duty inside, whose job it is to open the door for approved visitors. If Downing Street caught fire then they'd leave, of course, but if Downing Street catches fire there are bigger problems than having to take a battering ram to the front door afterwards. Mostly, though, the door is unlocked - there just isn't a handle to open it from the outside. I believe that there are a bunch of security locks, but they're generally left off the catch unless an unexpected visitor is approaching. So if somehow everyone accidentally found themselves outside, you could probably get back in with a quick shoulder charge.

fuctifino posted:If he loses the vote of confidence, does the deputy PM (Is it still loving Raab?) become stand-in PM until there's a Tory leadership vote? No, Boris stays in the job until the party (or a party) announces his successor. This is unfortunately a case where the FTPA works against us - I can easily see Boris calling a GE in response to a VONC either out of spite or in the hope that they'd drop the motion, and the Tories would be crushed either way. But as is a GE requires the support of Parliament, and the Tories won't want to fight one at the same time as a leadership contest.

Reveilled posted:I've been to one shinty match in my life, it was between Newtonmore and Kingussie. I think it was a cup match, or at least the final of some tournament. Newtonmore won, but then I heard later they got disqualified because they'd brought on an illegal player or something. My mother says that she once watched a shinty match on TV and the response to one player clouting another over the head with his shinty stick was a very mild-mannered "Aye, his play has always been a wee bit robust".

The good answer is "gently caress off", but the people who care about an answer will take that as the wrong answer. Got to pander to the bigots, though - anything else means you're not electable.

Rustybear posted:if he loses it's his only shot at remaining pm so it seems near certainty? If he loses the VONC he has no hope of remaining PM as he can't run in the next leadership election. It would purely be to spite the party, by forcing them to either fight a GE without a leader or fight it with him as interim leader. Either they get crushed and Boris gets his vengeance - and as I said, he'll probably stand down so he won't lose anything himself - or they win and become the party that won an election and kicked out the person who won it for them.

Tesseraction posted:Oh I hadn't realised that the tories repealed the Fixed Term Parliaments Act. Back in March they did it. It was only brought in to stop the Libs triggering a GE during the coalition years, and now they had a supermajority government it was just an inconvenient restriction on them taking advantage of circumstances.

Rustybear posted:if he calls a genuine snap election they'll have to fight it with him as interim leader and if he then wins that GE are they really going to boot him? They would already have booted him, that's the point. Once he's VONCed he's got no way to remain leader other than there to be zero candidates in the leadership election. That's not impossible, of course, but it would require every single Tory MP to turn down an open goal shot to become Prime Minister. Also it would be a complete and public humiliation for the entire party that they had voted out their last leader when 1) he was popular enough to win a GE and 2) they had no replacement lined up. They started this; they are bound to finish it.

a pipe smoking dog posted:I mean the funniest and most likely option is he wins by exactly enough that another challenge won't be possible, but by a small enough margin that he can't actually do anything for the next 2 years. This isn't possible. As already pointed out, the Tory "rebels" will be acting fully in support of Johnson tomorrow morning if he survives tonight. It's the kind of servility you should expect from a whipped dog.

Niric posted:Just on the year's stay of execution thing, IIRC it only needs a simple majority of the Tory parliamentary party to change the rules so that another VONC can be held earlier. That's what Brady is rumoured to have threatened May with happening before she resigned If 50% of the Tory parliamentary party were willing to do that, the VONC would have passed. Maybe another 31 of them will change their minds if they lose the upcoming by-elections, but don't hold your breath.

It just means that it has no official backing, same as a wildcat strike is where the workers engage in industrial action without the explicit support of their union. Westminster would be under no obligation to respect the result.

Total Meatlove posted:It buys Sturgeon headlines that don’t mention auditors, ferries, education… Also the news that former SNP chief whip Patrick Grady has been suspended from the Commons for touching them wimmin. But mostly, this is about forcing the Tories to refuse. Then the SNP run the wildcat, pointing out that Johnson trying to rip up the Northern Ireland Protocol makes it likely that reversing Scottish devolution is next.

Tories swinging Lib Dem as well would only return us to 2010. It's going to take more than that to extract the Tories from Downing Street, and Starmer isn't offering it.
